20.2 Updating your Touch from a USB
stick or an S D card
If you do not have access to a Wi-Fi network with your BrailleNote Touch, it is still possible to update
your tablet from a USB stick or an S D card.
From a computer with Internet access, visit http://support.humanware.com/support/ and download the
latest version of the BrailleNote Touch software to a USB stick or S D card. Safely remove your USB stick
or S D card from your computer, then insert it into your BrailleNote Touch.
You should see a notification that will inform you of a new update. You can either press a cursor router
key when the notification comes in, or if you missed the notification, press ENTER with N to access the
notification shade. Navigate to and activate the update notification to begin the update process.
Alternatively, you can launch the KeyUpdater application through the “All Applications” item in the Main
Menu. Activate the first item to begin the update process.
Your update should start copying and you will be notified of the progress. When it is done copying the
update, your BrailleNote Touch should automatically restart and begin installation. Note that this can
take several minutes.
IMPORTANT: You must safely unmount, or eject, your S D card or USB stick before physically removing it
from your BrailleNote Touch. To safely eject your S D card or USB stick, type ENTER with E, select and
activate the type of storage device you wish to remove (S D card or USB stick), then wait for the
confirmation message. It is now safe to remove your external storage device.
20.3 Updating your Touch from a computer
From a computer with Internet access, visit http://support.humanware.com/support/ and download the
latest version of the BrailleNote Touch software. Remove the USB connector from the power adaptor,
and plug the USB connector into one of your computer’s USB port. Make sure the other end of the
cable, a micro USB connector, is plugged into your BrailleNote Touch. It should be connected to the
micro USB port located on the left edge of your Touch, near the rear end, with the two small hooks on
the connector facing down.
Use your computer’s file browser to transfer the update you downloaded into the root of your
BrailleNote Touch.
From your BrailleNote Touch, launch the KeyUpdater application you can access through the “All
Applications” item in the Main Menu. Activate the first item to begin the update process.
Your update should start copying and you will be notified of the progress. When it is done copying the
update, your BrailleNote Touch should automatically restart and begin installation. Note that this can
take several minutes.
20.4 Updating an encrypted system
If an update is available but your system is encrypted, you can update your Touch using an S D card.
